What She Is Really Like

Emma Watson opened up to USA Today about her new role, as Sam, in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. She also talked to them about college. Her Perks director and Bling Ring director, also, spoke about Emma.

On taking the role of Sam: “It was way out of my comfort zone, doing the crazy dancing and the Rocky Horror stuff. This movie has helped me shake off a lot of the fear and restrictions I put on myself, I’m slowly breaking down the barriers. Slowly, I’m giving myself permission to be an actress and not worrying so much what people think about it.”

On college keeping her sane: “Being able to go to school and be around people who don’t work in this industry was a big part in helping me stay somewhat sane. I made a lot of sacrifices. It was really hard to get it done. But I’m so glad I did.”
